Sound Bite: John Lloyd YoungI’m a big fan of The Hollywood Reporter. That’s how I oriented myself to Los Angeles before moving out here.

01:04:57281.67

Sound Bite: John Lloyd YoungI was invited to participate by Dan Jinks one of the producers of it. Just finished Jersey Boys on Broadway about a year ago and in August I came out to do Les Mis at the Hollywood Bowl and met all these people in Hollywood who were theater fans, Broadway theater fans and they asked me to do this and I’m just floored by the amount of people the kind of people that are doing this tonight. I almost wonder whether I deserve to be here.

01:05:24308.67

Sound Bite: John Lloyd YoungI’m performing “Something’s Coming” from Westside Story uh which is probably my famous musical in history after Jersey Boys.

01:05:36320.67

Sound Bite: John Lloyd YoungMusical turned to film, it’s gotta be Westside Story. And they chose the song for me, so I couldn’t be any happier.

B-Roll – A Fine Romance Premiere – Catherine Zeta-Jones

01:06:42386.67

Sound Bite: Laurence Mark & Dan JinksJinks – We first started 4 years ago in Frank Mancuso’s back yard basically and it was a way to do something to give back to the community and we’re big fans of the motion picture television fund and we wanted to do a New York kind of an event here in LA.Mark – And that’s the idea, it is Hollywood loves Broadway and that’s exactly what this is and you’ll see Tony award winners for days inside.

01:07:07411.67

Sound Bite: Laurence Mark & Dan JinksMark – Oh wow, it’s a grab bag. It’s seriously a grab bag, every once and a while…Jinks – We’re great friends and we have very similar tastes and we pick people that we really want to see perform and it’s a show for us that, fortunately for us, everybody else seems to enjoy as well.Mark – And when you see Kristin Chenoweth do Ice Cream and the New York Philharmonic you say, “Oh my God, will you please do it for us?” And she does.

Sound Bite: Adam ShankmanUm I was approached by Dan Jinks and Larry Mark um they asked me if I would be interested in writing uh and directing the show and I don’t know I just said sure kind of blankly and next thing I know I’m suddenly doing it and here I am, and it’s great, we’re having a really good time. It’s a little nuts, I’m trying to finish a movie right now, I’m 2 weeks away from finishing Bed Time Story so it’s a little little silly.

01:09:21545.67

Sound Bite: Adam ShankmanUm I know that the producers are in touch with talent. The talent is very involved in picking their own songs. It’s all songs that are related from Broadway to Hollywood stuff so it’s um you know there’s just a library of that kind of stuff so I take it and I see what I want to do with it.

01:09:42566.67

Sound Bite: Adam ShankmanWestside Story. (talks) Why is it Westside Story? You know it’s just like the best one I think. I’m not saying it’s the best movie one ever made but it’s sure great and it’s just got my favorite score and it has some of the best dancing ever but there’s been a ton of them. I mean the easy thing would for me to say Hairspray. But I’m not.

01:10:15599.67

B-Roll – A Fine Romance Premiere – Catherine Zeta-Jones

01:12:20724.67

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-JonesFirst of all it’s got much bigger, which for us is just amazing because that tails into making more money for the fund and that’s what we’re doing and people who are gonna be watching the show tonight have been so generous and so I mean, my friends and my co-host Mr. Hugh Jackman and so many people who keep coming back for more I mean it means a lot to us in our industry to give back and to look after own which is I can’t think of any industry that does that.

01:12:51755.67

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-JonesWell I’m starting off um, I mean tonight we have Adam Shankman who’s directing and he’s put together some fantastic clips and so we’re starting with um Mac and Mable and I’m gonna be doing something from there and Tap the Troubles Away and I’m gonna be tap dancing and then I sing um from Showbook, ??? so…

01:13:16780.67

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-JonesWe haven’t actually signed black and white yet but I would pretty much do the phonebook with Steven Soderbergh and pretty much do pretty much else with Hugh Jackman so it’s a very interesting project so.

01:13:30794.67

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-JonesI don’t know, I think in times, especially these economic times, we need uplifting movies or you know and song and dance usually uplifts you and things like Moulin Rouge! Baz Luhrman’s and Chicago with Rob Marshall, there has been a resurgence of the musical and I hope it never goes away because it’s a big passion for me.

01:13:58822.67

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-JonesWestside Story, but I can’t say Chicago because that would be so big headed of me but um Westside Story and of course Chicago.

Sound Bite: Victor GarberDan Jinks is a friend of mine and is one of the producers of the show and asked me to do it.

01:18:001064.67

Sound Bite: Victor GarberI’m singing a Stephen Sonheim song from A Little Night Music, that was a movie that nobody ever saw.

01:18:091073.67

Sound Bite: Victor GarberWell music is like another language, it’s just something that touches people and it always has and it always will.

01:18:181082.67

Sound Bite: Victor GarberHmm I’m really bad at that question. I guess Chicago would be right up there. (talks) Because I thought it was a brilliant film. And my friend directed it, so. That’s also why.

Sound Bite: Kristin ChenowethThank you, um you know I have a really fun time with Hugh Jackman and really fun song from She Loves Me so I just try to do really fun entertaining stuff that also works for my voice so hopefully people are willing to enjoy it.

01:21:241268.67

B-Roll – A Fine Romance Premiere – Hugh Jackman

01:22:111315.67

Sound Bite: Hugh JackmanI’m a big old hen, I’m a big old show off, and that’s what it brings out, the ?. I’m one of those annoying people at the karaoke bar that you can’t get off the stage once they start. I kind of get nervous once I’m up there I’m like, I don’t know, a megalomaniac.

01:23:061370.67

Sound Bite: Hugh JackmanWell I actually don’t know anything apart from what I’m doing because I’m a self-obsessed actor, and actually I came to rehearse my bits and went, but last year I remember just being blown away by all the people who were on Dick van Dyke and Cheetah Rivera and Shirley McClain and Jennifer Hudson and I know I’m singing with Kristin Chenoweth and Audra McDonald which is an unbelievable opportunity or career suicide, it’ll be one of the 2 and you’ll know about it in a couple of hours.

01:23:441408.67

Sound Bite: Hugh Jackman{sings} If I loved you, time and again I will try to say, bye bye.
